Seal wants to ‘understand’ where racism comes from

The ‘Kiss From A Rose’ hitmaker insisted shutting down a discussion does more harm than good and he’s “more interested” in finding out the cause of “hate” rather than ignoring people’s reasons.

Speaking to UOL in Brazil, he said: “I am more interested in having conversations and trying to understand what makes one person dislike another because of their colour. I don’t just want to say, ‘Shut up and go to hell.’ Or tell the person that they have no right to feel what they are feeling. That way nothing will be resolved.

“The conversation doesn’t start. I would rather try to understand where the hate comes from. In most cases, people don’t even know why they are racist. They just are. It was passed onto them.”
